Maple Flavored Banana-Nana Bread

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is a quick, easy and dependable bread that can be made in about 20 minutes. This is a great recipe to have when you are working in the usually sub-standard kitchens of dorms, summer cottages or vacation condos. If you have a bowl, a wooden spoon and a strong arm, you'll have a table-ready bread in about 90 minutes. It is also a great recipe for new cooks or teens to try. This loaf is a bit different than many you may have sampled. It uses pure maple syrup as a sweetener and gets a flavor boost from a generous quantity of dried banana chips. The addition of nuts is optional, but they do add a nice touch to the finished loaf. If you're feeling especially festive, glazed walnuts or pecans make a wonderful addition and take the bread to a whole nother level. The bread keeps well for several days, but I suspect it will be gone long before it can stale. Whenever possible, I make the bread the day before I plan to serve it. That gives the disparate ingredients a chance to meld and ripen and assures the bread will have wonderful flavor. I've just made a loaf of this, sans nuts, for the Silver Fox. His sweet tooth has come back to life and he'll be ready for an all-you-can-eat buffet any day now. That's awfully nice to see. I hope you'll give this bread a try. I don't think you'll regret it. Here's the recipe.

Mary, I am so excited you posted this bread recipe, as I just found out I won the draw from the Kemble Maple Syrup Tour Rob & I had attended on the 14th. I am so going to be trying this and "sharing" it with my Recipe Exchange & blog readers. Thanks you & great day to you as well !

Hi Mary, thanks for your comment at my blog. You have a nice name for your blog, "one perfect bite" tells me all the good things you've cooked. I've never baked with banana chips and that sounds interesting!
